Question

Explanation:

A UTM (Unified Threat Management) appliance combines multiple security functions like firewall, intrusion - prevention, anti - malware, etc. It can detect and remove malware in the network before it reaches the endpoint. An application layer gateway mainly focuses on application - level traffic filtering, a DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) firewall examines packet content but may not have all - encompassing malware removal capabilities like a UTM, and a stateful firewall focuses on tracking connection states rather than in - depth malware removal.

A. UTM appliance
